Re: Need help with permission, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Sep 26 12:38:29 2022

Permissions are handled by the operating system and have nothing to do with elog. Make sure you run elog under an account which has write access to the desired directories. Consult Ubuntu documentation how to do that. Sometimes it's helpful to start elog interactively with the -v flag to see some verbose output. Maybe you can spot something there.

Hi all,
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04. I have compiled from the latest tarball and copied all our logbooks from our old Ubuntu 18.04 server to a new Ubuntu 22.04. The logbooks does however not appear when I log in, so I assume ELOG doesn't have read access either?
Any hints on how to set the permissions correctly would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mikkel

Hello,
I have just installed elog onto an ubuntu focal server using <sudo make install> and I am unable to create new entries.
When I access the log via a windows PC connected to the local network, I can see the demo logbook with the 1 test post, but I cannot create or edit anything.
Attempting to post throws the error:
New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/"
Please check that it exists and elogd has write access and disk is not full.
Please point me in the right direction to correctly set permissions and create aditional log books.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: Restricting entries view by user, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Nov 2 11:46:42 2023

No, this is not possible with the current version of Elog, so indeed everybody needs their own logbook.

Good morning,
I would like to ask you whether it is feasible to establish a logbook that limits access to entries, enabling each user to view only their own.
Although creating a logbook per user is an apparent solution, it does not meet my requirements.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Anyone else running elogd on redhat ES 8 having random crashes?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Oct 5 08:21:12 2022

Most likely these are some currupt logbook files. If you get a coredump (or stack trace) you can maybe figure out which file it was. These are plain ASCII files (YYMMDDa.log) and you can see with an editor if someting there is not in order.

For the last couple of months we are getting a random elogd crash once in a while we are getting something like the following in the middle of the night
> Sep 29 20:45:07 elog kernel: server_name686835]: segfault at 7ffd7f5a0000 ip 00007fceaeabbf06 sp 00007ffd7f577348 error 6 in libc-2.28.so[7fceaea8a000+1bc000]
I'm going to try and see if it will leave a coredump file, just thought I would ask if anyone else had seen this before?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: no availability of el8 and el9 rpm, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Feb 26 17:39:56 2024

Many thanks for your files and instructions. I integrated this into the official elog pipeline, so now the RPMs can be downloaded from https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html and they will be updated automatically after each commit. If you succeed with any Debian/Ubunto I'm happy to add that. What's missing now is an easy way to compile for Windows (which I don't have anymore).

A new version 3.1.5 of elog has been released with all accumulated fixes over the past actually few years. I made a tar file, a RPM, but I could not compile yet a windows version.

Thanks Stefen!
I built from source (ELOG V3.1.5-3a5f2f00) and I confirmed as fixed.

Thanks to your stack trace, I found a case where a string might get overwritten, but only if the attachment file name is longer than 256 chars. I fixed the code and made a new RPM:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r37qx9aka5ytt3j7vn4km/elog-3.1.5-20241213.el8.x86_64.rpm?rlkey=knct99pdltggunrbmyr2hpfe5&st=pkre24aq&dl=0
Alternatively, you can compile from sources. Give it a try.

Is there a way to install all dependencies automatically? Like if I install a package like "emacs" I get a list of dependencies with are automatically installed:

Is this ok [y/d/N]:

Hi Nina,
The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does not take care of dependencies.
Try to install with yum : yum install elog-latest.el7.x86_64.rpm
Normally the missing rpm files should be dlded from RL repo if your host can access to them...

Re: 3.1.5 - Mass edit bug + Wrong version, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Feb 7 20:45:31 2023

If it works with a simple edit, then why don't you use that one to edit individual values. I checked and version 3.1.4 had already the same problem, so it was not newly introduced. I would have to invest a couple of hours to fix this issue correcly, which I simply don't have right now. |
